Probably because having stability in the region is more profitable than not both in currency and Americas own security. Europe is the main partner (Israel #1) of the USA and probably the only other continent with a stable set of powers and government, even if it does not align 100% in values with the US.

AfD Excluded—Even from Playing Football
The European Conservative (archive)
June 25, 2025
The European Conservative (archive)
June 25, 2025
FC Bundestag, the parliamentary football club for current and former Bundestag members, is set to alter its bylaws to explicitly prohibit parliamentarians of the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) from joining or being admitted.
On Wednesday, June 25th, members of the football team’s general assembly were scheduled to vote to require all participants to pledge allegiance to Germany’s freiheitlich demokratische Grundordnung (liberal-democratic constitutional order) and reject “racist, anti-constitutional, and xenophobic tendencies.”
The proposal will empower the executive board to admit or reject applicants by a simple majority, specifically targeting those affiliated with parties the club considers hostile to democracy.
This move follows a March 2024 decision to exclude AfD MPs—this was overturned in March 2025 by the Berlin regional court, which determined that such a ban violated the club’s existing statutes.
Ironically, FC Bundestag describes itself as a parliamentary group “characterised by cohesion, fairness, respect, discipline, fun, and team spirit.” These attributes don’t seem to be valid when the AfD is involved.
Green MP Kassem Taher Saleh insisted the amendment isn’t exclusionist but necessary: “Professionals whose words and deeds pave the way for Nazis to reappear… we stand up to that—on the field and in parliament,” he said.
AfD leaders are expected to contest the change.
The exclusion of the AfD—now supported by roughly a quarter of German voters—from institutions like the FC Bundestag reveals the ruling elites’ deep contempt for democratic representation.

One of those morning I wonder if violent revolution is the answer as I check national broadcasting company's website.
"Hasan Piker became a voice, that American young men listen."

Yeah I know. I would want to know if Hasan had become voice young men listen to. That would be something taxpayer funded news service should tell people about.
But this shit indeed is nothing more than selling Hasan to people. Nothing more than puff piece telling old commies, kids are alright and doubling down on leftism is indeed worth it.

Poland's pro EU gvt led by Tusk is trying to pull a Romanian cancellation on the conservative president that won the election last month.
Unlikely to happen but could be a test run for the next big election.
In case people aren't aware the EU is working to implement a network to "protect democracy" against "foreign influence".
>Coming from a non-democratically elected techno-structure that's proven to influence its members states policies...
Basically it entails creating legal pathways to "fight"(censor) "hostile groups", "protect children" and "disinformation".
Of course the end goal is to make the EU's encroach more into what should be national prerogatives.
But also have transparent tools that allows them to eliminate problematic political opponents.

Old Taistoists still like to dream about these things, ever since Tehtaankatu stopped answering their calls. Perhaps they hope that now that the trendy communists are American, perhaps it finally catches on in Europe.

Hey comrade. Have you heard of this series of tubes called the Internet. Revolutions live on in there!
Well I assume this is more of case of them "cultural marxists" that have become the modern plague.
Taitoists did start it by infiltrating every student union and what not and here we fucking are. Taistoist W honestly.

Given the upcoming heat wave in large parts of Europe. One for your safety when it comes to swimming in bathing waters and their quality.
Most water is safe enough to swim in. To check for any particular spot you can check your national websites:

Most not only can’t swim, many can’t even float. They are very strange creatures.
This Dutch woman gives an excellent speech and she pulls no punches. I was shocked by the demographic statistics she laid out for major cities in Western Europe.

NATO's Rutte Warns Of Chinese-Russian Red Dawn As Medvedev Suggests He's "On Magic Mushrooms"
sauce/archiveNATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has gone full 'Red Dawn' - warning that China and Russia might orchestrate simultaneous invasions of Taiwan and Europe to destabilize the Western alliance.
“If Xi Jinping would attack Taiwan, he would first make sure that he makes a call to his very junior partner in all of this, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, residing in Moscow, and telling him, ‘Hey, I’m going to do this, and I need you to keep them busy in Europe by attacking NATO territory,’” Rutte claimed in a recent interview with The New York Times. “That is most likely the way this will progress, and to deter them, we need to do two things.”
To counter this perceived threat, Rutte advocated a comprehensive dual approach aimed at fortifying NATO’s resilience and expanding its strategic partnerships.
“One is that NATO, collectively, being so strong that the Russians will never do this,” he explained, emphasizing the need for a robust collective defense posture to dissuade any Russian adventurism. “And second, working together with the Indo-Pacific—something President [Donald] Trump is very much promoting, because we have this close interconnectedness, working together on defense industry, innovation between NATO and the Indo-Pacific.”
Rutte further heightened concerns by highlighting Russia’s rapid military rearmament, which he described as a pressing geopolitical challenge. “We have an enormous geopolitical challenge on our hands,” he told the Times. “And that is first of all Russia, which is reconstituting itself at a pace and a speed which is unparalleled in recent history.” The NATO chief claimed that Russia is “now producing three times as much ammunition in three months as the whole of NATO is doing in a year,” a statistic he attributed to Moscow’s deepening partnerships with North Korea, China, and Iran in sustaining its war against Ukraine.
Dmitry Medvedev, a senior Russian official, took to X to mockthe NATO leader, writing, “Rutte has clearly gorged on too many of the magic mushrooms beloved by the Dutch. He sees collusion between China & Russia over Taiwan, and then a Russian attack on Europe.” Medvedev added, “But he’s right about one thing: he should learn Russian. It might come in handy in a Siberian camp.” The caustic response reflects Moscow’s broader strategy of deflecting Western criticism with ridicule, though it offers little clarity on Russia’s actual strategic calculations.
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Trump has pressed NATO allies to significantly increase defense spending, successfully pushing for a new target of 5% of GDP, a sharp increase from the previous 2% benchmark. This demand, coupled with heightened concerns over European security, has driven countries like Britain and Germany to bolster their military budgets.

Hey, remember when it was decided that after 2035 you couldn't sell new ICE cars anymore and the chuds were all "Oh nooo they're banning ICE cars" and the enlightened gummint teatsuckers were all "Nah you can still buy used ones no biggie"?
Turns out the EU is now working on renewing the End of Life Vehicles Directive and will likely add some parts that will make the sale of older cars nearly impossible.
Fun times.

Lol at the eu if they think they can enforce it, lmao. At least in eastern/northern europe they'll need to kill all the 30 year olds that basically grew up on cars and are now police and military.

Imagine first putting the entirety of your auto industry into a chokehold (literally, if you look at what those poor engines are forced to do to comply with them, and it's not even just complexity and maintenance hell, but also includes useless, expensive, cancerous features like Start&Stop that only exist to cheat compliance with them), with increasingly restrictive environmental regulations the rest of the world doesn't care about, and then enforcing a suicide pact as there wasn't, there isn't, and there won't be one (1) single european manufacturer that produces competitive EVs at prices similar to ICEs in any meaningful quantity, and most importantly handing out free, tax-payer funded gibs to foreign companies for people to purchase theirs instead at a significant markup. China's already taking over plants shutting down. And now they're coming for your perfectly functional 20y.o. shitbox that works just fine, because they just won't fucking die and the average person has no reason to do anything about it unless you take away from them any means to maintain and fuel them.

Most eu regulations basically boil down to - by 2050 we will eliminate all CO2 or something equally retarded. Instead of reaching that, they just implement a 5 euro tax and call it a day. All that posturing just to increase taxes, literally nothing more.

It'll likely only be seriously enforced in places where the government's policy towards marching orders from Brussels is "Jawohl, kommissar." So, I fully expect any sensible person who wants to retain old cars over here to have them registered in Estonia instead.
